- Please make sure your slides are readable! We will be in a large

them! In general, budget no more than two minutes per slide.

- Practice your presentation beforehand. We're all friends and the
setting fairly informal, but it is a large group and you want to
have a great first impression of your race. In particular, practice
to make sure you will cover your material within the time limit!

- Make sure you and/or the people with you are prepared to answer any
questions that may be posed about your event.

Remember that the presentations are not just a requirement toward
having your event put on the calendar. They're also the first step in
getting people excited about your race and getting everyone to come to
town and participate when it finally comes around...

The following are some additional guidelines to consider:

- Please make sure your slides are readable! We will be in a large
room; keep your background simple and colors well contrasted.

- Keep in mind the time limits, we're going to be pretty zealous about
them! In general, budget no more than two minutes per slide.

- Practice your presentation beforehand. We're all friends and the
setting fairly informal, but it is a large group and you want to

! Handouts

Many of you will have more information about your event than can
reasonably fit into a ten minute presentation. Feel free to produce a
handout to be distributed at the meeting with that information.
Twenty copies should be sufficient to give out one per team. Please,
please consider the environment by using space effectively and
printing on both sides of the page. All handouts should be submitted
electronically to Joe and Caitlin at or after the meeting so that they
may also be posted online along with the presentation slides.


! Nota Bene

No proposals will be considered which have not met all of the above
requirements! ECCC races are among the best in the nation, and all of
this is just one small part of keeping them that way.
